Marston St. Lawrence, Banbury, OX17 2DB

Marston St. Lawrence is a village and civil parish in Northamptonshire, England, falling within the OX 17 postal district. It lies approximately four miles (6.4 km) northwest of Brackley, placing it within easy reach of larger market towns while retaining a distinctly rural ambience. A stream runs through the village, and another forms the southern boundary of the parish; the two streams merge as the Farthinghoe Stream, a tributary of the Great Ouse. According to the 2001 Census, the parish population was 209, which decreased slightly to 202 by the 2011 Census. The modest population size suggests a close‑knit community with limited but stable local amenities, and the presence of watercourses indicates a potentially scenic environment for residents.
